Considered one of Bordeaux premier Cabernet clones the 337 is brimming with stone fruit and fruit forward berry flavors, wrapped in leather, tobacco, and graphite on the nose.  The wine exhibits intense plum and black cherry in the mouth.  The mid-pallet is defined with dark berry, and currant with white pepper undertones.

With a dark red hue interlaced with hints of dark purple and indigo, the wine opens up with alluring aromas of ripe berries, freshly baked blueberry tart, black licorice, dark chocolate, earth tones, cinnamon and incense. On the palate, the flavors expand with generous notes of ripe blackberry, huckleberry, fresh cassis, bittersweet chocolate nibs, roasted walnuts and layers of spice. On top of that, the wine is full-bodied with a velvety mouthfeel, firm structure, smooth tannins, and a long, gracious finish. The end result is a brilliant wine with a perfect balance of power, composure and finesse without being too sweet or cloying—all inside one bottle!

2018 Rutherford TADDEI Block sits on the Rutherford Bench almost directly across from Alpha Omega.  The vineyard is approximately three quarters of an acre, and we farm the fruit at approximately two tons an acre. I lightly saingee this fruit only to adjust alcohol and pH.  I love the profile of the Rutherford dirt and I do what I can to preserve it in the wine.  2018 was the first vintage I processed fruit from the block, and often it takes two or three vintages to figure out how to handle the vineyard. I really love this little block and in 2018 the wine shows lovely flavors of plum, cherry and leather on the pallet with soft tannins.  The nose has a floral characteristic to it with notes of dark stone fruits. The wines finish is very smooth with hints f leather, espresso and dark fruit.

The 2019 Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine made from one of our first leases in Napa. The vineyard is on the Bench in Rutherford right along HWY 29. The Taddei Block is round beautifully drinking wine, the palate opens with red fruits, notes of blueberry, cedar and caressed with mocha notes. There is an intriguing hint of spice and white pepper that seamlessly leads into the dusty minerality finish that we personally love about Rutherford. This Cabernet is pretty, expressive of Rutherford.


The 2020 Rutherford TADDEI Block does not disappoint. Following in the footsteps of its older brothers, the vineyard continues to kick out great vintages. In a vintage that was very trying, this little gem stood out. The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon has aromatics that express raspberry, Bing cherry, leather, cigar and pencil lead. On the pallet, the wine is very consistent between vintages with copious amounts of cherry, crushed plum and leather with exceptionally soft tannins. The vineyard continues to produce fruit that possess rich flavors coupled with dusty elements and soft tannin.

The clone 15 is a smooth fruit forward wine. The wine is bursting with raspberry, blackberry, and plum flavors, saddled with leather and hints of cigar. The nose is perfumed with berry aromas, predominately raspberry with hints of vanilla. This too is a plush wine and has a lingering pallet of toffee and chocolate with firm tannin.
